Well, if it makes you feel any better, we had our tv for at least 10 years before a storm took it out. Then my sister gave me hers because it wasn't working. $60 later and it's a great one. Just a regular 27" but it's fine. Course she got a big flat screen, but I get to stay home with my kids...most of the time that's a good thing.
I told G'nad that it was time for him to stay home and me go to work because my Social Security statement says I do not yet qualify for SS...or Medicare. Ouch! I need to be a productive member of society.
I bought the Cars movie, Over the Hedge, and another movie for $20 yesterday. Blockbuster has a deal where you bring in your on-line rental to trade it in for a store rental, and while you're there, you can get 3 for $20.
It's a beautiful day...we're getting ready to clean out the coop.
In other news, thegirl won a spelling bee and will compete in Springfield at the end of March. She's 11 and it's for kids up to 8th grade but no older than 16. (though I don't see how you could be smart enough to be in a spelling be if you still in the 8th grade at 16)

My only real gripe with my current tv is it doesn't have captions. The captions have to be set with the remote and that remote has been lost for many a year now. If I stumble on one cheap, I may buy it just to access the captions!
The DVD player has captions though...so I can at least have the captioning when watching a movie.
Yes! We have the same Blockbuster deal...I've seen those movies for sale too. I think you can buy them online too. Not sure, though...
If you're going to be poofing dried chicken manure up into the air, be sure you wear something over your face, like a bandana or something...that dust carries some kind of bacteria, if I recall currectly. At least stay upwind as much as possible (that's all I really did...heh!)
Congrats to thegirl!!
ROTFL!! Congrats to thegirl!!
Congratulations to thegirl for her spelling bee win! And the best of luck in Springfield!! LSA & OB
